DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C44 Serial NVRAM is a 256-bit nonvolatile store protection circuitry prohibits STORE operations

Note:
(1) The store operation has priority over all the other operations.
(2) The store operation is inhibited when VCC is below 3.5V.
(3) NOP designates that the device is not currently executing an instruction.
(4) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.

Note:
(1) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2) The minimum DC input voltage is 0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to 2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns.
Maximum DC voltage on output pins is VCC +0.5V, which may overshoot to VCC +2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns.
(3) Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
(4) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address and data pins from 1V to VCC +1V.
